Te Kanawa, Freni - Canzonetta sull'aria [HD, subbed]

[cantorgasma]

This is a major philosohical discussion: do we follow tradition blindly, heremit-like in a security that "tradion" automaticlly means "better"'? Is the quality of apontaneity to be taken out of our lives? I am a stage-director for opera in minor houses throughtougth world for 40 years, therefore I'm concerned with everything I've had successes and boos. My advice? respect the score but dont be a slave to it, This means no Wagner in WWII. Da Ponte liked the corn-rows?. A librettist! Who cares?

I always liked Freni but for thisn number I prefer the Cotrubas.Kiri version, also for the better tempo it has. Whoever designed Kiri's hair/mantilla monstrosity should be hanged by the neck, by that self-same mantille, till dead.

you must be talking about the libreto writer Lorenzo Da Ponte who specified such hairdress, very tipical of the period, by the way.

and sorry but a guy who notice the hairdress above all must be gay, simply put

[cantorgasma]

@baburbabur I couldn't get this all in in the previous paragraph It is my job, among others, to notice hair-styles andbcostumes and to be an expert on them,When things are ugly they are ugly I also have eight daughters from eight different moms.so I think your gay theory is no longer much if a front-runner

@baburbabur You can read my response on the comment page By the way I have six kids, all from different moms

Bravo!!

[buffetosca]

è un po troppo lenta, ma così, devo dire, si riesce meglio a capirne la genialità e la bellezza

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words and makes your heart ache because of it.
